In order to work properly, do both of the tv's that are hooked up to the splitter have to be turned on?

No. However, any thing hooked up to the output will require powering the splitter down and back up again before they will be recognized.

The power comes from the device(s) hdmi cord(s), there is a power supply plug available on the splitter, but it is unnecessary, so they do not send one, this device just works it's wonderful!

It should be worked if the splitter does not have any problem. The one i got from this seller was not working.

Mine is set up so that when the channel is changed on the receiver it changes on both tvs; you watch same program on both tvs at all times. (There is a satellite remote in each room so that I do not have to leave a room in order to change the channel.)

There's no switch on the splitter. But of course you will have to use your other remote control or controls to select the signal source you wish to view or listen to, of the two you've connected to the splitter.

It has the option for both. Just go to the settings and make sure one or the other is turned on

mine couldn't....idk why ive seen people on here saying they had no problems but mine wouldn't work.. i could turn one tv on and it worked but if i tried to switch tvs i had to unplug them both and plug the one i wanted on in first and it would work...it was just easier to buy one with a power source. haven't had a problem since.

As long as you have the three plugs on both units, you can connect this. You will have to direct your television (probably through the menu) to the proper input.

I have just tried that and it worked. I normally use a HDMI input but my TV comes with a DVI input connector so I tried the DVI input and there was no problem. My suggestion is that you 1) turn off the HDMI splitter and all devices connected to the HDMI splitter, 2) turn on all devices connected to the HDMI splitter and then 3) turn on the HDMI splitter.

I have two different tv's hooked up to it. My old plasma has virtually no lag and my led has lag. I don't think it's due to the splitter though. So, I would say it's not a noticeable difference than before.

Mine goes to a 3 way splitter, two TV's were within 6 feet of splitter and were good, the third was 30 feet of coax away from splitterand no signal was getting to that TV so I put a pre amp between splitter and that 30 feet of coax and then that TV worked perfectly

If you want both devices to be able to use the HDMI port on the TV, you need an HDMI switch not a HDMI splitter. A splitter provides the same signal to two different receivers. A switch will take two different HDMI sources or transmitters and make either available from one or the other to a receiver (the TV in your case). Hence, this splitter will not work for you.

The problem with this splitter is that both have to be used at the same time and it is very important that they are initialized in the proper sequence and stay on continuously. It sounds to me this would not be the solution to your problem. Hope this helps!

No! This works as a one way splitter. You'll need a switch box. If both devices are accidentally turned on at the same time you may damage your electronics.

I would say yes. I have 3 TVs connected to mine, 2 w/3d and 1 w/o. All 3 TVs function normally no matter which ones are on or off, even if all three are on at the same time.

Yes - we currently use it with two TVs, and can have both of them turned on at once.
